Can senior 4-H members can shadow a 4-H leader to gain leadership skills?
Senior 4-H members can work as assistants to 4-H project and head leaders in the traditional junior leader role. The Leadership in Action project offers this opportunity and so much more. Senior 4-H members can expand their leadership skills by: – being a head leader – teaching, planning and/or coordinating a program/project – serving as a volunteer in a community or school organization – serving as a mentor – being an ambassador on a certain topic. The choice is endless and members are not restricted to leadership roles in 4-H. Senior members may get a 4-H Leadership in Action project credit for their roles in Student Council, Sunday School, municipal or town councils, volunteer organizations, recreation groups, and so on.
